is that which makes it readable such as times new roman and a sizing of 12 is
the most desired, since your name has to be highlighted just make it bold or
increase its font size to 13 and then mention your contact details after your
name one by one.

Preparing Yourself For An Interview:

Most people
write resume in a hurried and improper manner which end up showing desperation
to the employer, the purpose of writing resume is to get an interview and not a
job, write about how you are eligible for the job by providing the required
skill set.

Preparing About What You Write:

After writing
about your skills and strengths support them by having a good idea about them
rather than trying to include them just to impress the employer.

Avoiding Mistakes:

The interviewer just asks you
about the things which are mentioned only in the resume and not beyond and if
you do not know about what you have written in the resume you will end up in an
awkward position before the interviewer and chances of getting selected
decreases.

Correlating:

Mention those skills and strengths in
your resume that help you in discharging your responsibilities of your job and
how it helps your employer and not anything irrelevant.

Revising:

Go through your resume more than once
because you cannot afford to make a mistake because your chances go down, so
read through your resume once, twice or thrice and make sure there aren’t any
spelling mistakes or things which you don’t know or can’t answer properly when
asked in an interview.

Precision:

Be precise and don’t include lengthy
paragraphs in your resume because the interviewer may not have the time to go
through lengthy paragraphs, so be precise about your work experience, skills
and strengths that makes your interviewer get an idea about you.

Different Content:

Do not make the mistake of
sending the same resume to all the companies because one resume does not suit
all jobs, change your resume to the needs of that particular company and job
role and make slight modifications, this really increases a chance in getting a
job.

Avoiding Irrelevance:

Avoid all those things in
your resume which are not related to the job and doesn’t add merit to the
resume strictly prepare the resume with respect to the job you are aspiring for
and its requirements.

Small mistakes:

Do not include pronouns in your
resume such as “I” because it is your resume and you need not include, also
include “Mr.” or ”Mrs.” Wherever
applicable and please do not use slang, try to look formal and not unprofessional.
